A very good month as we do the double over FC Steaua in the Europa League but a big loss to Leverkusen sees us knocked out but at least we scored 2 goals against them. In the league we're in 2nd and need to win our game in hand to top the table and in the cup we face FC Luftetari in the Quarter Finals.

Albania looks like an absolute blast. Thanks to this thread, I'm adding it to my "places to visit in FM" list :thup:

Excellent work, man. 

Albania is a lot of fun to manage in, which is good because it means I don't mind spending more than 2-3 seasons here, good luck for one day if you manage there :)

From what I gather with the FM Speeder, if it is what I think it is, it doesn't actually make the game any faster, the loading/ processing takes the same amount of time but it's just the writing shows up on the screen quicker.

End of Season 2023/24

An almost perfect end to the season sees us crowned league and cup winners, going 3-0 up against Korabi with them almost snatching a 3rd goal to take it to extra time and the only downside being the loss to my old team and already relegated Burreli. All I have to do now is win the Super Cup before I can move on to Algeria!

Well done in completing Albania, Makoto!:) But I think you will have to go Algeria if Partizani Tirana went bowed out of the Champions League sooner or later? What happened to both national teams of Afghanistan and Albania in your first journey? I think Albania made it for the second time in Euro or a bust?

Are you tempted to stick around in Albania to win the CL with Partizani? It won't take long at this rate :D

Maybe stay until the end of the season? Or until you get knocked out of the Champions League?

To answer both of you, I'll be staying until at least the end of December, but no, I won't be staying until we win the Champions League :D

Thanks Sherwin :) yep I'll be waiting until we're out of the Champions League, the Afghanistan national team haven't done anything but Albania have qualified for the 2020 and 2024 European Championships, finishing bottom of their group in 2020 picking up a point against Denmark in a group that also contained Franc and Poland whilst in 2024 they topped their group containing France, Russia and Israel but lost 3-2 to Switzerland in the Second Round.

A poor month by our standards as we fail to retain the cup by going out on away goals as well as 2 draws in the league sees us *only* 19 points clear with 13 games to go.

I haven't been doing screenshots for Youth Intakes thus far but I had to this time, because the first Tuvuluan has come through! :D I don't care that he's awful...or that he probably won't exist once Albania as a league is removed, this is how he looks:

Keep Albania active and sign him for every club you go to #makeTuvalugreatagain

Well he's now being tutored by our 1st choice goalkeeper so hopefully he can improve a bit, he's also wanted by Nauti who are a Tuvaluan club (I'm keeping Tuvalu loaded throughout) so I may just ship him off but I'm unsure as to whether to let him go since he won't improve as much back home.

When you instant result do you ever give instructions - like go for the win ? Or do you just do it without?

Nope, for me the only way to do that is with the Simulate Match option and if you choose that then no subs are made so I just instant result with no instructions.

Amazing hair on that Abadaki guy :D

Well done, that was quite the extended stay in Albania but I'd imagine it was pretty fun with Partizani. Good luck with Algeria.

Thanks oriole :D Hopefully Algeria will be a bit less than 7 seasons! Algeria would be good for something like a youth challenge though since there are a lot of good youngsters that come through.

History (Translated from French)

The Difaa Riadhi Baladiat Tadjenanet , abbreviated DRB Tadjenanet or DRBT , is a club of soccer Algerian established in 1971 in the town of Tadjenanet , Mila wilaya .

The DRB Tadjenanet was founded in 1971 by a group of Algerian athletes led by the late president of the club Tahar CHEBIHI , assisted Boudjemaâ Merouani and Saïd Berahaïl 1 .

The club made his big shot at the 2013-2014 season , where he finished champion of the National Amateur Division - Eastern Group to 12 points ahead of the second, the famous MO Constantine 2 .

For the 2014/2015 season , the DRBT continues to surprise and realized for the first time in its history accession in first division Algerian football always led by coach and former international goalkeeper Liamin Bougherara , and also qualifies for the first time for the knockout finals (1/8) of the Algeria Cup 2014/2015 after eliminating the neighboring rival club HB Chelghoum Laïd in 1/32 finals, and a leading expert in the Lady Cup , the CR Belouizdad in 1/16 eliminations 3 .

August 15, 2015, the DRBT wins opening match in Ligue 1 2015/2016 Algeria face RC Relizane on 2-1. In his first season in Algerian D1, the club finished in a very respectable position ( 7 th overall) and ensures that its primary objective of maintaining.

Catching up, and enjoying every minute. Excellent work in Algeria.

Am I the only one who imagines you taking the ferries from Albania? :idiot:

Thanks ManUtd :D

And it is a 33 hour journey...and it took me 4 days from resigning in Albania to starting the job in Algeria so you never know...and the cheapest flight is £1,304 one way... ;)

Our first loss in quite some time but we're still holding on a point clear of AB Merouana with 11 games to go and we're through to the 8th Round Final of the Cup but I have no idea what that means since it should be the 7th Round, the round before the Quarter Final. I've also brought in some new players and gotten rid of a lot of deadwood.
